IMPROVEENT IN DRAWER-HILLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 183,479, dated October 17, 1876; application filed August 21, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. WEEDEN, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Drawer-Pulls; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1, a front view Fig. 2, a top View; Fig. 3, a side view; Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7, the several parts detached.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of drawer-pulls which consist of a handle hinged to a base so as to hang in a vertical position when not in use.

The invention consists in a spindle-shank or tubular central body, onto which a transverse bar is secured, combined with a handle hinged to the said transverse bar, all as more fully hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

a, is the body or base, preferably of cylindrical form, and constructed with a head, I), and alsopreferably constructed with a shank, d, to extend into the drawer front, tapped to receive a screw from the inside as a means for securing the pull to the drawer front.

c, Fig. 6, is the bar, which is perforated centrally to pass on over the base a against the head b, as seen in Figs. 2 and 3, and there 'shank 01 passed through the perforation l.

The shoulder between the shank and the body a is drawn hard against the face of the escutcheon, or, if desirable, the body a may be riveted or otherwise secured to the escutchcon, and the escutcheon then afford the means of securing the pull to the drawer.

By this construction the parts may be made from sheet metal, and thereby an elegantly- -finished surface cheaply produced.

I claim The herein-described drawer-pull, consisting of the tubular central'body by which the pull is secured, the transverse bar secured upon same on the said body, and a handle hinged to the said bar, substantially as described.

WM. N. WEEDEN.
